What We Did

Tuesday and Wednesday, we hosted 11 CEOs from across the country that lead LGBT Chambers. We were thrilled to host this first-of-its-kind gathering. Being able to have devoted time to talk and strategize with others that do the same unique work as we do is invaluable.

We of course highlighted our members and could not have done it without them. Thanks to the Fairfield Inn & Suites for rooms, The Mockingbird for dinner, Pins Mechanical Co. for entertainment, Waller for hosting us, and D'Andrews Bakery & Cafe for lunch.

The Mayor's Office reached out and is interested in keeping and growing LGBT diversity on boards and commissions. We are thrilled to hear this and will help connect our incredible members to this opportunity to serve. We are collecting names and bios. If there is a board or commission that you are interested in, please email Joe and let him know.

We attended an incredible event hosted by AllianceBernstein , the Nashville Connectors Reception. It was to help link Nashville’s centers of influence to one another. We were all doing work with AB and this was a way to celebrate all the diverse work they are participating in, and connecting with one another so we can all collaborate. Thank you AB for being a great corporate citizen in Nashville.

We celebrated another LGBT Chamber member with a ribbon cutting on Wednesday! Pins Mechanical Co. is a new addition to Nashville and we cut the rainbow ribbon at their newly opened establishment in the Gulch. We are excited to partner with Pins for upcoming events!

We attended a CEO reception for Jane Allan, the new CEO at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center . The EC board selected a great person and we are excited to start working more with her on the awesome things we are already doing at the EC.

Nashville Area Chamber 's Leadership Connect program is an exclusive opportunity for area small business owners to engage more with the Nashville community and become leaders.
